"I am going to ask you first," said he, "to copy in order upon a fresh sheet each reference which you find marked with a red cross, so that the references may be all together. Be very exact, please, and very legible. German and French words are easily misread by the typist who will put this work finally into copy for the printer."
"It is private and personal, my business with you. I understand you are engaged to be married to a lady in whom I have felt some interest." Johnny looked up and stiffened. "Well?" "I allude to Miss Joan Meredyth, for some time engaged by me as a typist in my city office." "Well?" "Miss Meredyth did not always hold the position in society that she does now." "I am aware of that."
I knew a girl who had an attack very much like this; while she was under its influence she made up a psalm pretty nearly as good as one of David's. Her mother was much alarmed about her. But she recovered quite quickly, except that she left her job as typist in a mind-improving institute and went to sea as a stewardess." Sarah Brown talked on, louder and louder.
He was going about with my typist, Miss Thesiger. They were staying in the same hotel. I tried to say as casually as I could that Miss Thesiger had wired to me that she was staying in that hotel with her people. The little bounder then intimated that when he saw Miss Thesiger her people were less conspicuous than Jevons.
Jarvis, dictating letters to a typist, smiled occasionally as he pictured the arrival of this over-favored young man in the drawing-room of Mrs. Weatherley, attired in the nondescript fashion which his words had suggested. One or two of the clerks ventured upon a chaffing remark.
He saw and heard nothing, until going on for half-past ten, when a young lady turned up and went in." "A young lady?" "Miss Edmonds, Sir Lionel's shorthand typist. She had found, after getting home, that her bag, with her purse in, was missing, and she came back to see if she had left it here. She gave the alarm. My man heard the row from the road and came in. Then he ran out and rang us up.
She was a business woman, and it was enough for her that she received a good salary. For five pounds a week she would have undertaken a post as secretary and typist to a Polar Expedition. For six years she had been with Mr Meggs, and doubtless she looked forward to being with him at least six years more.
As in the days of the "Eban" sketches, now on the press for book publication, it was write, rewrite, and re-rewrite, the typed sheets coming back to Miss Westlake amended, interlined, corrected, but always successively shortened and simplified. Profitable, indeed, for the solicitous little typist; but she ventured, after a fortnight of it, to remonstrate on the score of ordinary prudence.
"Yes, sir, with my own hand," and the man held up that member as if to call it as a witness to his truth. "I should have preferred to have had the copying done by a typist accredited by the county clerk," said Mr. Clark coolly. Hapgood flushed angrily. "If you don't believe me " he began, but Mr. Clark held up a warning finger. "It's always wise to follow the custom in such cases," he observed.
She is no worse off than if she had remained single and continued to be a school teacher, social worker, typist, factory hand the rest of her days, and she has fulfilled more of her desires and functions.
